Hi, my son is 4 and he's always slept in bed with me from an early age since I escaped a domestic violent relationship. He will not go to bed on his own I have to get in with him until he falls asleep then go back downstairs which he's just realised so bedtime is a really stressful thing. He has got his own room and I don't mind him being in my bed it's just stressful that he doesn't get in and go to sleep it's a constant battle, I've tried everything. He's got a t.v in his room, I let him watch which he watches then comes downstairs asking to get in my bed then I have to get in with him. He cries and cries and it breaks my heart to hear it but I just need some me time and I know its not good for him me giving in every time. My daughter is 7 and at bedtime she gets in bed and goes to sleep so I don't know why he won't. Bottom line is he doesn't like getting in bed on his own be that his bed or mine. Any information is helpful thanks
